  1. replace "os.getlogin()" with "pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())" 

    Hello everyone,

I am setting up Open IO in Docker. In the process, I notice that using `os.getlogin()` does not work if the user that executes the program is not logged in via the `login` command. More generally, it seems like `getlogin()` is not too reliable and `getpwuid(getuid())` seems to be a better way to do the same thing: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4785126/getlogin-c-function-returns-null-and-error-no-such-file-or-directory

Best regards,
Conrad
